Congress should pass my Eliminate Shutdowns Act — or at least my Shutdown Fairness Act — to ensure the government continues functioning to minimize the harm of congressional dysfunction. Unfortunately, uniparty appropriators want the leverage of shutdowns — using government workers and the public as pawns in order to...

The Democrats’ primary goal during the government shutdown was to deny President Donald J. Trump and Republicans any success — regardless of the collateral damage inflicted on the American people. We need to pass the Shutdown Fairness Act and stop using government employees and the public as political pawns in the Democrats’ quest for power.

I have worked for years to pass my Prevent Government Shutdowns Act. The bill would make sure that during a shutdown, Congress would have to stay and work while the American people are held harmless. Congress should stay in DC until DHS is open.

Thought I had a deal on the Shutdown Fairness Act — but we hit a snag. If we can’t reopen the government tomorrow, I’m hoping and praying that Democrats will at least agree to pay federal workers and stop using them as pawns in their partisan games.

When you shut down the government, it doesn’t actually shut down. Most employees at the Department of Homeland Security are deemed essential and required to work without pay. That’s why Congress should pass the Shutdown Fairness Act — to ensure people are paid on time and to stop Democrats from using Americans as political pawns in their dysfunctional partisan games.

Democrats are pushing toward a government shutdown in September. My Prevent Government Shutdowns Act would take shutdowns off the table by keeping funding in place to protect families, veterans, and seniors, while forcing Congress to do its job and finish the work.

The leverage to end a shutdown should never be TSA agents and federal law enforcement missing paychecks. Those families have nothing to do with Congress failing to finish its work. My Prevent Government Shutdowns Act puts the pressure where it belongs: on Congress.

The first duty of government is to protect Americans. Yet Ossoff's Office, Senator Gary Peters, Senator Mark Kelly, & Senator Tim Kaine chose shutdown politics that leave DHS underfunded during rising security threats. End the shutdown and pass the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act.

Nothing motivates Congress like jet fumes. My Prevent Government Shutdowns Act keeps us in DC until we finish all 12 appropriations bills. Momentum to end shutdowns for good is growing.

You don’t use shutdowns to pass bills. You don’t use shutdowns to hold Americans hostage. You don’t use shutdowns for leverage. President Donald Trump has a MANDATE to work on behalf of the American people, and that’s exactly what he’s doing! End the Schumer-Jeffries shutdown NOW🇺🇸

Democrats just voted to shut the government down at midnight. If they were serious about avoiding a shutdown, they would have supported the House-passed funding bill or backed my Eliminate Shutdowns Act last night. There were two clear opportunities to keep the government open — Democrats rejected both. As I said in my floor speech last night, this shutdown was completely avoidable.

A reminder that Democrats survive government shutdowns because the media act as their crisis comms: ABC's Mary Bruce framed last year's Democrat shutdown as reluctantly necessary in order to curtail DOGE.

Members of Congress should not keep getting paid during government shutdowns while forcing federal workers to miss paychecks. The resolution passed by the Senate will ensure lawmakers aren’t rewarded for shutting down the government.

The U.S. Constitution requires Members of Congress to be paid, even during government shutdowns. If Members of Congress had to forfeit their pay during government shutdowns, there would be fewer shutdowns or they would end quicker. That’s why I’ve introduced a constitutional amendment that, if ratified, would bar Members of Congress from receiving a paycheck for the duration of a shutdown. It’s time Congress plays by the same rules as everyone else & we get back to work on behalf of the American people.

Unlike federal workers, our federal contractors — that includes food service workers and janitorial staff who keep Congress running - did not receive back pay after the government shutdown ended. Ms. Willie has been a federal contractor for 44 years at the Library of Congress. During the shutdown she and her fellow UNITE HERE members joined me for lunch at my office. They missed paychecks during Republicans' government shutdown & had to find other ways to keep her bills paid. I'm fighting for our workers to get the back pay they deserve, and my Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act would do just that. Congress should pass our bill immediately.

Democrats are totally fine voting to shut down the government and take in a paycheck, while federal workers, their staff, and federal law enforcement go without. We need to pass my No Budget, No Pay Act to hold Congress accountable: either pass a budget or Congress should forgo their paychecks, too.

TSA officers should not be going without their paychecks while Congress is getting theirs. In fact, due to Democrats’ two recent shutdowns, TSA officers have missed paychecks for almost 50% of the fiscal year—that’s unacceptable. We need to pass John Kennedy’s No Shutdown Paychecks to Politicians Act.
